DISTANT’s new single and video, ‘Rat Torture‘, is a critical reflection on our daily digital lives. “’Rat Torture’ is about a suffocating descend into a world where the illusion of freedom is maintained by the glowing screens and empty validation. The song paints humanity as willing prisoners, rats in a cage they worship. Every scroll is a mechanised ritual where identity is performed instead of lived. While there might be still human beneath the glow, it’s too numb to break free,” says the band.

DISTANT – ‘Rat Torture’
DISTANT are keeping things busy and their grim, ultra-heavy deathcore on the road. After already touring Europe with Sylosis they just finished another US run including several shows with In Flames and Thrown.
The band is also due to play multiple festivals this summer, including Graspop Metal Meeting, Impericon Festival, Jera On Air, Resurrection Fest and more. Find tickets and more information here.
DISTANT has become one of the prominent faces of European deathcore. Melding together brutal death metal, slam, noise and beatdown with a hyper-dissonant orchestra of impending doom, they’ve come eons since their origins as metalcore obsessed friends in Rotterdam and Bratislava.
